Logo cookies are a delicious advertising/promotional tool. Great for any business function. They will be remembered! And of course you can attach a business card for future reference. My friends at the Gown Gallery, a really chicl bridal shop in the Crossroads District, give these to their customers while shopping on Saturdays.

Of course these cookies can be customized for any occasion. Below is a pic one bride used as a favor for her wedding reception.

We can use any font, any color, any information you want printed on your cookie!

This week I did the cookies below for a "new love", a long distance relationship. His birthday is today and we delivered a box of the cookies below with a little love note enclosed!

(Another use of logo/photo cookies.)

I'm not complaining, believe me!

Ok, here we go....

The Cohen wedding at the Intercontinental Hotel on the Plaza

Ya know....I've been trying to create more interesting photographs and as a rule my favorites have been on the all white plates. Obviously for a white cookie, not so much! But the plate is pretty! Oh well, these cookies have been seen before. Thank you Lisa, and best of luck to Rachel and Ken.

Cute little animal cookies....eight colors!!!

They were made to coordinate with the baby shower invitation.

And here's the invite....

Cute! Thank you Jeanne.

I did a larger than normal order for Adams Dairy Bank (I do cookies for them every week). These were for an event they sponsored for Blue Springs South High School.

This cookie was a custom order:

I really like the way she turned out. And yes, no white plate, but still a bad pic. I was in a hurry, that's my excuse! I also did a groom in his tux, but the pic was even worse. I'm planning to do these again soon, so I'll re-post with better pics. I have a wedding show coming up on September 11th and I think I need these to go with me!

I guess here's a good place to mention that if you're soon to be a bride or know someone that is, check out www.bigrevealkc.com for the show details. It's always a fun show to do and you get to visit several venue options while connecting with wedding vendors. You can also find me on www.tietheknotkc.com along with other best of kc wedding vendors.

And, last but not least,

a whole bunch of cookies for Earnst & Young. As requested, one yellow "E" and one black "Y" in each bag. I delivered them to KU in Lawrence. I think they were doing some recruiting.

That's it for now. As always, more cookies to come.

Martini's and Snowflakes! Snowflakes??? in July???

Martini cookies for a martini themed wedding shower for Kristen, given by her friend Karie.

Thank you Karie, it was nice meeting you.

And, yes, snowflakes!

What better cookie to help everyone stay cool at a pool party on a scorching hot summer day!

Thank you Marcy and Larry!

What? No cookies?

That's right! I was in sunny Florida with my grandkids and their Mom. The whole trip was AWESOME! That's not a postcard!

We had fun times at the beach

Katelyn - always busy!

We took care of those ornery boys!

I don't think they minded....

We visited Daytona International Speedway

We had a girls day at the spa

Katelyn lost her first tooth

She's holding up a baggie prepared for the tooth fairy!

One day we had planned to spend the whole afternoon at the beach. As soon as we were packed up and ready to go it started to sprinkle. We figure it will rain 10 minutes and stop. Just like the day before - right? Well do you see out the back window of the car?

It didn't stop! So....Plan B

Go back to Pops house and play in the rain!

Aren't these kids funny?

I love this picture of Grant and Conner heading out to catch a wave on their boards.

It sure was a fun time in sunny Florida!

Customer Compliments

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 05:18:00 +0000

I got a couple of really nice emails yesterday!
Jean is the mother of the bride that was married on Saturday She ordered these:

And she said:

Dianne, The cookies were great!!. I did not have to take one cookie home. They were all gone by the end of the evening. As I mentioned we are not Wedding cake people and I have been to too many Weddings where the Family is loading up leftover cake to take home. I did not have to do that. On the down side, the Bride and Groom did not get a cookie and the only one I tasted was the ones I ate on my way home from your house when I picked up the cookies. However that is a good problem, obviously they were a hit and the next time I will put a few aside to enjoy ourselves. Thank you and I will pass your name on. We have 2 more daughters that are single, hopefully they will give Mom and Dad time to recover. Jean

YAY! I love happy customers.
AND... Sara ordered the cookies for the Community Blood Center:

The cookies we ordered from MeMaw’s Cookies were beautiful and delicious. The logo we requested appeared on each cookie perfectly and was a wonderful addition to our function. The cookies were excellent Dianne. If we have the means to order cookies for an event again I will definitely call you.
Thanks,
Sara

YAY! More happy customers!

VERY busy week!

Faux Pas of the month!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 03:18:00 +0000

Ok, so my last post was all about this big wedding order and how I forgot to take pictures to share with you, blah, blah. Well, Monday's are usually my make a plan, get everything together, get supplies and get ready to make the cookies for the week day. So...I went downstairs to collect dish towels to wash. I noticed a box with cookies sitting on the table where I do the icing. I did a double take! Cookies? What cookies? Here is what I saw...

a box with 41 cookies that were supposed to be at a wedding reception last Saturday!! I couldn't believe it. To say I was embarrassed is an understatement. I called Jennifer, the bride's mom, and fessed up. She didn't even realize the order was short. Too many people taking care of too many things. She did tell me that Ashley loved the cookies and I was happy to hear that. I delivered the missing cookies this evening and was assured it was no big deal. I bet that never happens again! It was the last box to be filled and it didn't get carried over to the "staging" area for loading in to the car. A lesson learned....

Pictures? ...and 4th of July

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 20:40:00 +0000

I did it again! No pictures! I'm trying to post once a week showing the cookies I made for the week. It's hard to show the cookies when I forget to take pictures. I haven't been able to figure out where to put a note or something to remind me to take pictures. I'm not sure anything will work at this point.

Nevertheless, I had a large order this week, 22 dozen monogram wedding cookies. I intended to show you what 22 doz cookies looks like. It's a lot of cookies. Since I can't show you the pic, here's an image of the design.

They were designed by the bride's mother. Nice job Jenn! They tied all the ribbons themselves. All the bags were tied with a very pretty green satin ribbon. I bet the wedding was beautiful.

Also, just a reminder, 4th of July is right around the corner. If you need something to take to the annual holiday picnic, why not take cookies? I'm just sayin....

Bachelorette Party and Wedding

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 03:59:00 +0000

Last Friday I delivered cookies for a bachelorette party. The bride will be wearing an ivory dress and the groom will be wearing a tan suit with blue tie. Bridesmaids will wear light blue and light green dresses. So...all the cookies were made with light blue, light green and ivory/tan. The hostess requested bra and panties hearts, corset, bridesmaid dresses and bride and groom hearts. Oh, I almost forgot the margarita. Here is a sampling of the cookies. By the way, this is typically how cookies are delivered - each cookie individually packaged in a cellophane bag and tied with a coordinating ribbon.

On Saturday I received this email from Sarah B. (the hostess): "I just wanted to let you know that your cookies received rave reviews at the bachelorette party! People wouldn't stop talking about them! Thanks so much again, they were wonderful!"

I never get tired of the compliments! Thank you Sarah, it was a pleasure doing business with you.

I also had an order for a wedding reception. I know I'm sounding like a broken record, but I forgot to take pics. So, here's a pic of the sample that I emailed for the bride's approval.

These were designed to resemble the brides dress and the grooms attire.

They also ordered monogram cookies and this is the art work submitted to the bride (via the groom's mother) for approval.

Thank you for your business Lisa.

That's it for last week.

Father's Day

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 05:47:00 +0000

Here's what I've put together for Father's Day this year.....

This is the image that I am going to put on a cookie card for my Dad.

You can create a cookie that represents your family to give the the special father in your life. I have people images to choose from on my website HERE The images can all be altered to change hair color and skin color. Glasses and mustaches can be added or deleted. And if you give me the age and names of each "person" I will size the pic to represent the ages and write the name below each face.

I know this is very last minute, but if you're like me you're procrastinating anyway! If you want to give Dad a one of a kind gift you need to get your order in ASAP.

I have to have your order by Thursday June 17 if you want to pick up on Saturday June 19. I will deliver when possible.

I will have to size the images to accommodate the number of family members. The cookie will be a 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" cookie, the sentiment will be the same on all cookies. Each cookie will be individually packaged in a cellophane bag.

This is a Special Offer....you can order 6 cookies for $15. You are not required to order the usual dozen minimum.

TO ORDER :

Send an email to info@memawscookies.com or call 816-237-8427

I will need to know the number (ex. Girl 1, or Guy 1, or Sitting Baby Boy) of the images you want printed, the image number is listed below the image on my website. I'll also need the changes you want to make to that image, the name and age of the person you're depicting.

If you have any other requests, please let me know.

HURRY - not much time left......

Fun Days Ahead

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 03:24:00 +0000

I put together this assortment of cookies for Christine. She wanted 5 dozen cookies to surprise her mother who was a school teacher and was retiring at the end of the school year. These were all "things" that were meaningful to her mother. Thank you Christine, it was a pleasure working with you.

Cookies & Kiddos

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 22:19:00 +0000

Here's a couple cookies from last week....

Elmo for Kaden's third birthday party - Thanks Stacey!

Wedding cookies for Ericka and Doug - my gift to them.

I have a few other cookies I designed last week - I'll share them eventually. There's a lot going on right now

Life between cookies?

My two youngest Grandkids, age 5 and 3, spent the last 10 nights / 11 days with us while their parents and older brother went to Scout camp. Last night was their first night back home. I know they were very happy to see Mom and Dad again! It was sure quiet this morning without my little alarm clocks jumping on my bed. They are so entertaining.

Here's Katelyn coasting down the hill full speed on her Big Wheel. Did you notice the shoes? On the wrong feet!! She put them on herself and she is fine with that.

Here's Conner practicing throwing the football with Pop Charlie.

There are so many cute pics of them it's hard to choose just one.

Ok enough about the little people. Cookies to think about!!

Website Makeover

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 20:31:00 +0000

I suppose most everything we do is a process..... My website has now morphed in to something I hope you'll find a little more useful than the original. Go see for yourself, click on the button on the right.
I also wanted to show you some cookies I made recently. I was happy with the way they turned out. Shawnee Mission Hyundai used them for a promotional weekend event. They were a big hit.

Ali & Pat

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 03:13:00 +0000

It took me a little longer than expected to get back to posting! Here are the cookies I made for a bride that wanted to give cookies to her out of town guests. She gave the cookies at her rehearsal dinner back in April..

There were some very late nights with this one. I baked 5 dozen squares and applied frosting sheets that had the lavender background with Ali & Pat in script. Just what the customer ordered. I checked on the cookies after a couple hours and the lavender had turned a very pretty blue, not was I was going for. So, baked another five dozen and tried again with frosting sheets from a different shipment, you know, maybe the first batch I used were defective. I had never had this happen before. I used a different method to attach the second batch - guaranteed to work. WRONG - bubbles came up on the cookies after about 10 hours. No way were these going to be acceptable. So, I was up in to the wee hours of the morning hand writing Ali & Pat on 60 cookies. I was happy with the final cookie, but I'd prefer not to go through that again. I'm thinking lavender is one of those colors that is difficult to achieve on a frosting sheet. I'll try it again some day - not too soon.
